Indonesia

Living in an agriculture-based country, agribusiness actors in Indonesia were struggling to obtain sufficient information to remain economically and efficiently sustainable. To solve the problem, the Ministry of Agriculture established the ePetani portal in 2010 to make agricultural information, such as agricultural statistics database, database on agricultural export-import, and agricultural price information available to the public. Accessing the portal agribusiness actors, especially farmers, extension workers and traders, can easily gather information they need in conducting their daily activities. At the same time, using the multimedia portal and other web-links provided by the integrated system, those customers can also share ideas with other users, as well as file e-complaints facilitating the use of online information to improve the quality and efficiency in farming and agricultural trading.
